How do I use an animated .gif in my iPhone application?

Question

I have an animated gif file that I want to use in my iPhone application, but the animation doesn\'t work. Does anybody know how to fix it?

Answer 1

This can be achieved by this piece of code:

NSArray * imageArray  = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:[UIImage imageNamed:@"1.png"], [UIImage imageNamed:@"2.png"], nil]; //this will be the frames of animation images in sequence.
 ringImage = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100,200,600,600)];
 ringImage.animationImages = imageArray;
 ringImage.animationDuration = 1.5;//this the animating speed which you can modify
 ringImage.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
 [ringImage startAnimating];//this method actually does the work of animating your frames.

I know its an old thread..but may be helpful for someone..:)
